20, 16, 11, 0


That's how many minutes I let her cry before falling asleep. I started two days ago with one of her naps and then at bedtime (the 20 minutes and 16 minutes respectively). Eleven minutes was for one of yesterday's naps. Arlo put her to bed last night and decided to lay with her until she fell asleep instead of letting her cry. And then we had zero minutes for her first nap of the day today. Hurray! She did cry out once, when she got her leg caught through the side of the crib. But I fixed it and she fell asleep.

Here are a few other sleeping pictures for comparison purposes:

Her first time sleeping in her crib.

She moves around quite a bit in her sleep.

Just a few weeks old. In her Pack N Play. She still sleeps on her side a lot but not with her legs crossed like this.

Nap in her swing. This was at 2.5 months. Now her feet hang out and her head is almost to the top of the swing. She will be so sad when she outgrows it. She LOVES her swing.

At the doctor Monday she was 28 inches long (99th percentile). She is only around the 75th percentile for weight at 15 lb. 12 oz. but the doctor uses a chart that has both breastfed and formula fed babies. I would expect her to weigh less than a formula fed baby. I need to do a jammies assessment though since she is not quite 5 months and she is almost out of her 6-9 month jammies. (I have a bunch of 9-12 month, but I don't know how many of them are summer weight.) She stretched her legs out fully yesterday morning and bared her shoulder.

  2. Sweet pix and I love the video ... she likes her avocado! Gabrielle was 99% percentile for height and 50% for weight for ages, so Sarah's doing great!
